Meaningful progress in education requires more than adopting new technologies or introducing new qualifications. It begins with questioning established assumptions, exploring different perspectives, and finding better ways to translate knowledge into practice.
In a message to the EIU-Paris community, Hon. Ky. Col. Prof. Dr. Edward Roy Krishnan, Founder and Director General of European International University-Paris (EIU-Paris), shares his perspective on the importance of seeking truth, embracing critical thinking, and turning ideas into meaningful action.
Looking Beyond Personal Truth
Prof. Dr. Edward Roy Krishnan invites the EIU-Paris community to reflect on three dimensions of truth: my truth, your truth, and the truth itself. This distinction highlights how personal beliefs and experiences shape our understanding of the world.
In professional and everyday life, differing opinions and conflicting information often challenge what we believe to be true. Looking beyond our own perspectives requires a willingness to question assumptions, consider evidence, and remain open to new ideas.
In an age of rapidly shared information, this mindset encourages critical thinking, informed decision-making, and constructive dialogue, all of which support responsible leadership and continuous learning.
From Vision to International Recognition
The willingness to question established practices also informs EIU-Paris’s approach to higher education. The journey began in 2018 with a vision to explore new approaches to education. Since then, the university has continued developing its academic offerings and international presence.
Its institutional progress includes ACBSP accreditation for its BBA, MBA, and DBA programmes in 2025, a QS 5-Star rating, and recognition among CEOWORLD Magazine’s Top 50 business schools in 2025. Its MBA also achieved a ranking of #=92 in Europe and #301+ globally in the QS Global MBA Rankings 2027.
These developments reflect EIU-Paris’s efforts to advance academic quality while exploring educational approaches responsive to changing professional needs.
Rethinking Education Through IKON SKILLSโข
Recognizing opportunities to improve conventional education, Prof. Dr. Edward Roy Krishnan drew on his long-standing interest in neuroscience to explore more practical approaches to learning. This vision contributed to EIU-Paris’s New Economy Degrees, powered by IKON SKILLSโข, an AI-powered learning platform. Delivered through stackable micro-credentials, these programmes emphasize practical competencies, skills-based assessment, and the application of knowledge in evolving professional environments.
Reflecting on his own efforts to bring change to education, he encourages others:
โThink about something that you’re really passionate about. Think about something that you know needs change. Go pursue that.โ
His message encourages individuals to recognize opportunities for improvement and pursue meaningful change in areas that matter to them, just as his educational vision has influenced the development of new learning pathways at EIU-Paris.
Moving Forward with Purpose
The connection between critical thinking and educational innovation extends beyond any single programme or technology. It calls for openness to new knowledge, the willingness to challenge established practices, and the determination to act on what we learn. Through its evolving learning pathways, EIU-Paris continues to reflect this philosophy, demonstrating how questioning assumptions and pursuing purposeful change can contribute to the future of higher education.
